i bought every issue for about a year and a half ending about a year ago. Just got sick of it, after about 10 issues i never got around to reading half of the content and they would keep compounded upon each other until i just stopped buying them.

At that point i figured something out. I've think learned everything i want to know about horror movies, and seen 90% of the ones i need to. Not to say i'm done watching them, but over a 5 year span of reading up and trading DVDs, i think i pretty much covered everything and don't need to continue crusading for more. There' a lot to be liked about all the italian sleeze and exploitation films of the 70s, the classics from then and before as well as the errie period ruled by hitchcock and brigman, but my true passion really does lay with those cheesy 80s that i grew up with. And i've definitely scraped that barrel.
BD keeps a pretty good finger on the pulse for new stuff so that'll do. I'd sell most of my Rue Morgues if anyone really wanted them that bad. (i'll keep the one where they printed my letter )

On that note, this is Paradis signing off, See ya in another life brothas
